How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Shanks

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   The removal team starts at the wettest accessible areas after the sprinkler source is controlled.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   A warm-looking image alone does not prove a cavity is dry; physical measurement matters.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A wet insulation pocket may require removal rather than surface airflow alone.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run under a plan guided by material readings.
